5 Tips to Good Nasal Hygiene
We recently had our house renovated, and now my husband and I have been busy cleaning, rearranging furnitures and removing dust from our stuff. Ang alikabok sa bahay I swear!
If you are commuting I’m sure you’ll notice that just like a house, our nose accumulates mucus, dust, bacteria, viruses, and fungi too.
Me and my son always commute, and we suffer from nasal dryness, nasal crusting, and sometimes even nose bleeds. I thought that the only way to clean the nose is by picking it. Excuse me sa kumakain, but when the booger is hard, ang hirap tanggalin di ba?
Today, I’m going to share to you that Nasal Hygiene is as important as Dental Hygiene. Yes! That’s true.
I learned that it’s important to clean our nose daily.
Here are my 5 Tips to Good Nasal Hygiene:
1. Use a humidifier at home – It is advisable to maintain a humid atmosphere at home to avoid having dry nose.
2. Always Clean your Home – This is to avoid or get rid of allergens and microbes.
3. Use a seawater nasal spray which contains a sea water solution that is rich in trace elements – saline nasal spray can help keep our nose and nasal passages in tip-top condition. One brand that I discovered and learned to love wasΒ Humer Isotonic Seawater spray for Nasal Hygiene and Humer Hypertonic Solution for nasal decongestion suited for both Adult and Kids.
4. Use a tissue to clean your nose then throw it right away after using.
5. After cleaning your nose, don’t forget to wash your hands.
As the cold season will start soon, startΒ practicingΒ nasal hygiene, proper diet, and exercise to keepΒ a strong immune system and be able to fight common colds and cough during this weather.
How about you mommies do you have some nasal hygiene tips?
Sounds like a great line of products. We have something simlar to this, hubby and kids uses them all the time.
Hay naku Mare, ako man I found Humer to be very effective especially when the whole family caught the bug and we had colds for two weeks.
I’m actually trying this out myself and checking if this will work for me as I usually have stuffy nose.
My newborn son recently had a cold and his pedia suggested we use a saline solution because he’s not allowed to take medicines yet because he’s too young. The pedia actually said that Humer is very effective safe even for a newborn. So happy because we have Humer at home. π
I hate dust and smoke. I literally can’t breathe so well when I smell smoke. Although I don’t suffer from any nasal trouble but my husband does. Haven’t seen these products in the market. But will sure grab one if I see it.
We just got a new air purifier and I can already feel that our nasal passages are clearer. It is very important to look at your entire health including the overlooked areas.
Nasal hygiene isn’t something we think about often enough but it really is so important. These are very helpful tips.
It is best to learn about the proper way to take care of someone who has a nasal problem. Way to go for sharing this awesome tips.
We use a humidifier every night to get rid of all the moisture in the house. I’m also constantly washing my hands because of having two little boys to look after π
Thank you for sharing these tips. Just like Jeanine here, I am also terrified of using nasal sprays. Hahaha…
Wonderful tips! Is it weird I’m completely terrified of nasal sprays? Probably why when I get a cold I end up taking 2 weeks for it to completely clear up!
I hadn’t heard about this product before – sounds like it it would be a great help, especially with the coming season!
I certainly love the tips but what I took away most from this are those brands you are using! Where did you first hear about them? I might pick some up tonight!
Oh wow. I wish we have that here.. Nasal hygiene is actually so important than on think – people tend to take it for granted most of the time. Thanks for letting us know and reminding me again of its importance.
These are really great tips, especially this time of year when people get sick more. Great products.
I haven’t really ever thought about nasal hygiene before! I do have a dry airway so I do use saline sprays in my nose and Flonase when it’s stopped up. Great post!
These are all great tips for good nasal hygiene. I always have my humidifier going especially in the winter when it get so dry in the house. A good seasalt nasal spray is a great idea. Thanks for sharing the tips.
I never really thought about tips to have good nasal hygiene, these are all very interested and great tips!
I stay stuffy all the time during allergy season, which is a long time here. I swear by saline nasal sprays!
Winter is terrible for nasal dryness in our house. We always use humidifiers and I keep a lot of nasal sprays for everyone!
I love these tips!! With all my trips I take my nose always gets so dry from the air while flying and the different environment.
Thanks so much for sharing these tips. I have terrible allergies, and this will help me immensely.
It’s interesting to read about some of the tips that can help keep the nasal passages clean and clear. I think that doing things like blowing the nose regularly and using nasal spray could be beneficial to me. It’s something I’ll have to remember as it gets colder as my nose tends to act up when it gets too cold.
wow this is very new to me.. i never thought that such product (specially made for Nasal hygiene) do exist! This is really ideal for kids and also for someone like me who is a daily commuter and is exposed to pollution
These are very helpful tips Sis to keep you and your family safe. My kids used nose spray as well. I always vacuum almost everyday especially we have dogs to keep the house clean. I also spray some on the carpet for any pet odor to go away.
These are simple tips but most of the time people miss out on them. This can really help avoid nasal infections.
